Torre di Vada, Medieval defense tower in Vada, Italy
The stone tower stands at coordinates 43.350838, 10.454166 along the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, featuring a truncated pyramid base and multiple observation levels.
The structure, built by the Municipality of Pisa in 1279, operated as a defensive fortification against Saracen incursions and later served as a lighthouse until 1979.
